Looks to me like the same truck.I also see the lower catwalk.Only difference I see is the 3rd step(2nd angle iron) on the rear fender is gone and it looks like a pc of expanded metal..Could be a hundred reasons for this..
Should look at pics of the other side..
I have never noticed the curved rear fenders before

Yes it sure does, At least it is now down to two truck's

One thing I find unusual is the green stripe on the hood skirt. Has anyone seen this before?

Just added graphics Ian. Was a photo touch up to cover up the Hayes script on the hood panel. Was a WCB thing to not advertise any manufacture. Most places these were posted didn't know what kind of truck it was or care for that matter. Only posted for a while then changed for a new poster depicting something else to do with safety

Jim Backlund , BCFP Renfrew Div. I saved the best for last . Alex Stark on Cat #22 . If Alex wasn't the best Cat Skinner around , he ran an awful close 2nd . Most of the Cat Swamper's that broke in running Cat at Renfrew Div. spent time with Alex . Cool Calm and easy on equipment , made every move count , got a lot done with very little effort . Always had a way to solve a problem , got something hanging down from a high bank he couldn't reach , he'd get a log long enough to reach it , choke it with the Cat Line suck it up to the Arch & use it as a Jill Poke .

Ernie Harrison , BCFP Renfrew Div. Unloading and setting up an "Old Style Preload Trailer" , from a Grapple Operator's view point . Note the head lights on the #212 HDX Hayes . Also Note the "Lifting Hooks" hanging off side of Grapple and Cable loops in front of and behind bunk on trailer . These were required as some of the Loaders were still loading with Tongs . The lg Loader was most likely the #314 a Northwest Grade Shovel converted to a log loader , that didn't even have an elevated cab .

Interesting to see the addition to the top of the rad tank Al, Also with the trailer hanging in the air, The double boosters and cam shafts on each brake sure stand out. Really good picture's. Must have been pretty tight to get the second trailer in there.
